Stuck?! Sketches April 1st DT Reveal

April 1st is here already and that means that its reveal day over at Stuck?! Sketches!!

Laura has once again wowed us with a fantastic sketch to work with! Here's what it looks like...

I loved using this sketch! Here's my layout...

"Delight"

This is my little Isaac when he was just 10 months old... he's now 7 1/2 years old!! Still working on his baby photos!!

I started my layout by applying modeling paste through a TCW template and then flicking a small amount of ink on the background (Black & Citron Color Shine and Aquamarine Glimmer Mist). For the circle in the top left, I traced around a cup with a black pen and then painted over it with green (Crushed Olive) Distress Ink.

Here are a some closeups of my layout...

In my small cluster here I added a Prima flower, a Bella Blvd sticker, and a Heidi Swapp die-cut ticket that I applied Crushed Olive Distress Ink to.

The patterned paper that I used was from the Kaisercraft Bow & Arrow collection and these flag/bunting stickers are from the same range. I used these in place of the scallops on the sketch.

For my little cluster in the bottom right I used an October Afternoon flair & sticker, a Kaisercraft sticker and a Simple Stories die-cut.

I used this Heidi Swapp word sticker as the title for my layout... "Delight".

I love this Maggie Holmes chalkboard sticker! I popped some foam tape underneath it to give it some dimension. I also included another Prima flower and an October Afternoon sticker here as well.

I hope that you pop on over to the Stuck?! Sketches blog to be inspired by the amazing layouts that my fellow design team members have created! We would love you to play along with us this month by creating a layout with this awesome sketch and linking it up over at the Stuck?! Sketches blog! You will have the chance to win some great prizes from our sponsors:

Thanks so much for visiting today! As this weekend fast approaches, I'd like to wish you and your families a very blessed Easter! For us, Easter means reflecting on the amazing act of love and sacrifice that Jesus has displayed for us on the cross! And we'll be devouring far too many chocolate eggs I'm sure!

I love texture paste on a patterned paper background! This is gorgeous. Don't worry, I think its a scrapbookers right to always be behind with our scrapping...how boring would it be if we were 'up to date'!!!
